Ezekiel 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:7

And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the
cherubim
One of the four living creatures, or cherubim, put out his hand from among the rest: unto the fire that [was] between the cherubim;
so fire is said to go up and down among them, ( Ezekiel 1:13 ) ; to which the reference is here: and took [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of [him that was]
clothed with linen:
denoting, as before observed, that it was for the ill usage of the ministers of God's word that wrath came upon the people of the Jews, and the destruction of their city by fire; so wrath will come upon antichrist, and the antichristian states, for their usage of the ministers and churches of Christ, and in consequence of the prayers, and by the instigation of such persons; see ( Revelation 6:9-11 ) ( 18:4-7 ) ; so one of the four beasts or living creatures, the same with the cherubim here, is said to give to the seven angels seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, ( Revelation 15:7 ) ; who took [it], and went out;
took the fire, and went out of the temple, and scattered it upon the city of Jerusalem; so representing the Chaldean, or rather the Roman army, burning it with fire; see ( Matthew 22:7 ) ; where they are called the armies of the King of kings.

Ezekiel 10:7 In-Context

5 The noise made by the creatures' wings was heard even in the outer courtyard. It sounded like the voice of Almighty God.

6 When the Lord commanded the man wearing linen clothes to take some fire from between the wheels that were under the creatures, the man went in and stood by one of the wheels.

7 One of the creatures reached his hand into the fire that was there among them, picked up some coals, and put them in the hands of the man in linen. The man took the coals and left.

8 I saw that each creature had what looked like a human hand under each of its wings.

9 I also saw that there were four wheels, all alike, one beside each creature. The wheels shone like precious stones, and each one had another wheel which intersected it at right angles.
